10 Foods Made In China Filled With Pesticides, Plastic And Cancer Causing Chemicals

People everywhere are avoiding food imports from China, and it’s easy to understand why.

Chinese food industry has a very bad reputation when it comes to food safety.

Namely, it has been proved that many types of foods produced in China contain large amount of toxic chemicals which can seriously damage human health.

Here we offer you a list of 10 illegal food products from China and we advise you to think twice before buying them. You don’t know what hazardous substances may contain this food shipped directly from across the ocean.

1.Imitation Egg

Some Chinese websites have come out with instructional videos on how to make $70 a day by producing and selling fake eggs. The chemicals that are required are “Alginic Acid, Potassium Alum, Gelatin, Calcium Chloride, water and artificial color.” The eggshells are made from Calcium Carbonate. Eating these eggs may cause memory-loss and dementia.

2.Baby formula

In 2004, 47 people were accused of producing fake instant baby formula that led to dozens of children dying in Fuyang, China, reported CBS News. The formula contained very few nutrients, was likely made of chalk, and made the children develop a “big head disease,” which made their heads swell and the rest of their bodies slowly deteriorate.

3. Making beef out of pork

Because pork is less expensive in China, some restaurants have sold it instead of beef – but not before they performed some chemistry on it. What they use are a beef extract and a glazing agent to “marinate” the meat in for 90 minutes. Doctors have advised people to stay away from this fake product as its long-term use may cause “slow poisoning, deformity, and even cancer.”

4.Tilapia Fish

Tilapia is commonly fish-farmed in China. These fish are some of the worst, most toxic and unhealthy fish that you can come across. It’s one of the worst fish purchases you could buy and farmers won’t even let their children eat the seafood that they farm.

5. Fake green peas

The fake peas were reported to be very profitable, and one of the illegal workshop was producing them for three years before it was investigated. Fake peas were created with snow peas and soy beans, added with green dye and sodium metabisulfite (used as bleach and preservative). This dye is forbidden to use on produce because it may cause cancer, as well as obstruct the body’s ability to absorb calcium.

6.Chinese Apple Juice

China is the LARGEST pesticide producing country in the world and they haven’t even begun to address pesticide or chemical residue on foods. 80% of fruit juices in the USA comes from China. Fruit juice is too rich in sugar and is better mixed with vegetable juice for your blood sugar levels.

7.Mod Sold As Black Pepper

A market vendor in China’s Guangdong Province collected local mud and sold it as black pepper, while their white pepper was mainly made out of flour. His excuse for justifying selling these fake items was that they “would not kill people.”

8. Plastic Rice

Huge amounts of fake rice has been seized in China, and it is believed that much of it is produced from potatoes combined with a synthetic resin. Just like the peas, the rice stayed hard after boiling. Also like the peas, its long-term consumption could cause cancer.

9.Chinese Garlic

US inspectors have also found tainted garlic from China. Garlic from China is sprayed with chemicals more than abundantly and this garlic leaves a bad aftertaste, that of a chemical concoction. 31% of Garlic sold in the US is from China.

10. Fake Sweet Potato Noodles

In 2011, people started complaining that what were supposed to be sweet potato noodles tasted strange. Further investigation led to a revelation that the noodles were composed of corn with an industrial ink used to give them a purple color, and paraffin wax.
